I went back and reviewed the elves path since was the only one without combat, and was a bad move (since you don't get to "know" the potential party members otherwise, making the choice on who to recruit first more difficult).
Now I've added some fights. Two wild dark elves appear!

Yes, I almost ran out of the NPCs I asked him to draw. There's a good amount of merfolk/gothic/forest folks characters, but apart that, everything else I must use other artists. I regret didn't ask him to draw more elves

finished the Naga recruitment quest storyline. Only the Nomads left! Enok is a battlemage and it's an interesting class since the skills are those of a mage, but he can wear armor and use weapons like a warrior (except the most heavy stuff, but still).
